I use VMware Fusion on my Mac to run Windows and Linux software. When I plug a USB device in, VMware asks whether or not I want to connect it to the VM or the host - OS X. This works for a variety of mice, memory card readers, phones, portable navigation devices, etc.

However, as you may have guessed by now, it does not work for Retrode. When I plug in my Retrode it connects to OS X without asking me.

I was wondering why that might be? Is the Retrode firmware not doing something it should? Or is VMware Fusion at fault?

I have no idea what VMware does. The Retrode enumerates as a standard USB composite device (mass storage + HID). There must be volumes of relevant literature out there since lots of folks will probably be using VMware for gaming and someone must have had this kind of issue before.
